Statement Of Problem: One-step dental implant surgery with a 1-piece implant has been introduced with the aim of simplifying and increasing the effectiveness of treatment and providing greater comfort for the patient. Whether these goals have been met compared with conventional 2-piece implants remains unclear.

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the use of 1-piece versus 2-piece implants in terms of marginal bone loss and implant survival rate.

Material And Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and was recorded in the International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) database (CRD 42018095721). A literature search was conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases for articles published up to May 2018. The population, intervention, comparison, outcome (PICO) question was, "Do patients who received 1-piece implants show similar marginal bone loss, survival rates, and complications as those who receive 2-piece implants?"

Results: The meta-analysis was based on the Mantel-Haenszel and inverse variance methods. Implant survival rate was analyzed by using a dichotomous outcome, measured according to risk ratio (RR) and marginal bone loss by continuously evaluating the outcomes according to the mean difference (MD), both with a corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). Five studies, including 270 participants with a mean age of 54.70 years and receiving 434 dental implants, were included. The mean follow-up period was 4 years. Meta-analysis did not reveal a significant difference in relation to implant survival rate (P=.85; RR: -0.89; CI: -0.27 to 2.98), as well as to marginal bone loss (P=.85; MD: -0.43; CI: -0.43 to -0.52).

Conclusions: One- and 2-piece implants demonstrated effectiveness in the rehabilitation of patients requiring dental implants.

Purpose: This study retrospectively investigated the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of a bone-level type, 2-piece, internal connection dental implant system characterized by coronal microthreads.

Methods: A total of 872 implants placed in 284 patients were selected from 1,845 implants placed in 691 patients by experienced periodontists at Yonsei University Dental Hospital. These selected implants had been followed up for over 10 years and were included in the present study.

Article Synopsis
  • Titanium dental implants have biological and esthetic limitations, leading to increased interest in zirconia implants, which are praised for their appearance and compatibility with the body.
  • A study involving 9 zirconia implants placed in 8 adults showed a 1-year survival rate of 88.8%, with one implant failing after 6 months.
  • The results indicated stable soft tissue and minimal bone loss over the year, suggesting that two-piece zirconia implants could be a reliable option for tooth replacement.

The objectives of the study group focused on the following main topics related to the performance of 1- and 2-piece ceramic implants: defining bone-implant-contact percentages and its measurement methods, evaluating the pink esthetic score as an esthetic outcome parameter after immediate implantation, recognizing the different results of ceramic implant designs as redefined by the German Association of Oral Implantology, incorporating the patient report outcome measure to include satisfaction and improvement in oral health-related quality of life, and conducting preclinical studies to address existing gaps in ceramic implants. During the Joint Congress for Ceramic Implantology (2022), the study group evaluated 17 clinical trials published between 2015 and 2021. After extensive discussions and multiple closed sessions, consensus statements and recommendations were developed, incorporating all approved modifications.

Statement Of Problem: Some radiographic film holders produce radiographs with geometric distortion that may interfere with diagnosis. However, whether the distortion can be corrected by adjusting the design of the radiographic film holder is unclear.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to develop an adapter for a radiographic film holder model aiming to generate radiographs with greater sharpness and a more accurate geometric representation of dental implants.

Background: Goals of a cranioplasty include protection of the brain, restoration of normal appearance, and neurological function improvement. Although choice of materials for cranial remodeling has changed through the years, computer-designed polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implant has gained traction as a preferred material used for cranioplasty. However, long-term outcomes and complications of PEEK implants remain limited.
